Will begin this soon. JAGUAR  19:09, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

  • The lead should be expanded in order to summarise the article, particularly the second paragraph
  • The first reference in the lead makes no mention of "God Bless Africa" or "God Bless Zimbabwe"
  • "and then again four days later closure of the first meeting of the Bantu National Congress" - error. and again four days after the closure?
  • "Initially despite that connotation" - I'd remove "initially"
  • "One of their considerations was to ban performance of "Ishe Komborera Africa" in African schools and public performance of it often made people liable for arrest" - as it often
  • "such as; Tanzania used "Mungu ibariki Afrika", Zambia used "Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free" (to the same tune) and Transkei who used "Nkosi Sikielel' 'Afrika"" - reads a bit odd. I would remove "such as" and just begin the sentence with Tanzania
  • "The act also made it a criminal offense" - offence
  • "In 2004, at the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia" - 2004 is already mentioned so remove "In 2004"
  • No dead links
  • No dab links

I found a few errors, but once they're clarified this should pass. JAGUAR  21:04, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

@Jaguar: I have fixed the errors that you raised here. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
